About Australian Miniatures

Australian Miniatures goats are a designer pet breed established in Australia in the early 2000's. The Australian Miniature breed has been bred down from small Australian Bush Goats and other general goat breeds by selective pairing of genetically small animals to achieve what we have today. Australian Miniatures have various characteristics that differ from one animal to the next. They come in all different coat types, ear types and colourful coat patterns giving them that 'designer' edge where a new owner can select the type of mini that they would like to welcome into their home. 

​

Australian Miniatures are a height breed. This means that they are graded under a grading system within registered associations Australia wide. Grades can be affected by the height of the animal once it reaches 3 years of age. If they have grown too big for their grade once three, they drop down in the grades. However, they can go up in grades due to their parents if they are under height.

Our journey with Australian Miniatures started early in 2013 when we purchased our first two registered does from a local breeder. Since then, our stud has grown and we have brought in genetics from Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria to further improve and establish our herd. Since the importation of Nigerian Dwarfs and Pygmy Goats to Australia, many Australian Miniature Breeders have changed breeds, using Australian Miniature genetics to establish graded Pygmy and Nigerian Dwarf breeds. Our stud decided to keep the two breeds separate and only breed with pure Australian Miniature genetics that don't have any trace of the imported Pygmy or Nigerian Dwarf lineage in them. We are now one of the few studs that remain breeding Pure Australian Miniatures across Australia.
